Heart attack
A heart attack (acute myocardial infarction or
AMI) occurs when blood stops flowing to a part of the heart muscle.
The lack of blood flow is often caused by a clot in one of the heart's
blood vessels. Without the oxygen carried in the blood, part of the
heart muscle dies or is damaged.
